  • Top-Down Historical Phonology of Rote-Meto1
    Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society JSEALS Vol. 11.1 (2018): 63-90 ISSN: 1836-6821, DOI: http://hdl.handle.net/10524/52421 University of Hawaiʼi Press TOP-DOWN HISTORICAL PHONOLOGY OF ROTE-METO1 Owen Edwards Leiden University [email protected] Abstract This paper examines the historical phonology of the Rote-Meto languages through a top-down perspective. It describes the sound changes which have taken place between Proto-Malayo- Polynesian and the present-day languages. This reveals a number of shared innovations between Meto and the languages of west Rote, as well as changes shared by the other languages of Rote. Thus, a West Rote-Meto subgroup is identified, as well as a Nuclear Rote subgroup. Within Austronesian, there are phonological innovations shared between Rote-Meto and a number of languages of Timor and surrounding islands. This provides evidence for a Timor-Wetar-Babar subgroup, though this group does not include all languages of Timor. Keywords: historical phonology, subgrouping, Timor, Austronesian ISO 639-3 codes: bpz, row, dnk, llg, rgu, twu, txq, aaz, aoz, bkx 1 Introduction In this paper, I provide a detailed account of the phonological history of the Rote-Meto languages taking a top- down perspective. I compare pre-existing Proto-Malayo-Polynesian (PMP) reconstructions with their reflexes in the Rote-Meto languages and identify the sound changes that have occurred. This reveals six sound changes which are shared by Dela-Oenale and Dengka in western Rote and Meto on the Timor mainland. 1) merger of *d with a number of instances of *j to Proto-West Rote-Meto **r 2) initial *k > h in a number of forms 3) loss of *k word medially after *a 4) initial *b > f in a dozen forms where other Rote languages retain *b = b 5) *ə > a in final syllables 6) partially unconditioned split of *a > a~e in final open syllables These sound changes provide evidence for a West Rote-Meto subgroup.

  • How Christianity Obtained a Central Position in Minahasa Culture and Society
    CHAPTER TEN HOW CHRISTIANITY OBTAINED A CENTRAL POSITION IN MINAHASA CULTURE AND SOCIETY In 2000 only four out of the (then) 32 provinces of Indonesia had a majority of Christians. Th ese provinces were all located in the eastern regions of the vast archipelago. In number of total population they are somewhat compa- rable: the smallest being the Moluccas (1.1 million), middle ranking were North Sulawesi and Papua (2 and 2.2 million respectively) and the largest number was for East Nusa Tenggara (total population of 3.8 million). Th e highest percentage of Christians was in East Nusa Tenggara with 87.67%. It was followed by Papua with 75.51%. Th ird was North Sulawesi with 69.27%. Finally, a meagre majority was established for the Moluccas (not including the North Moluccas) with 50.19%. Th e province of North Sulawesi is the subject of this chapter. Four provinces of Indonesia with a majority of Christians1 Province Population Christians East Nusa Tenggara 3,823,154 87.67% Papua 2,213,831 75.51% North Sulawesi 2,000,871 69.27% Maluku 1,163,122 50.19% For many people Minahasa (the largest part of North Sulawesi) and Christianity are inseparable, similar to the Muslim identity of Aceh and Minangkabau. Th ere is probably no other region in Indonesia where so many people emphasise the close relationship between local or ethnic identity and Christianity. Th is strong identity was not yet present in the fi rst period of encounter with Christianity (1570s–1820s) when only a few coastal villages, partly inhabited by traders and former slaves from outside regions, fostered the new religion.

INTRODUCTION A. Background Judging from some of the major social economic indicators and comparisons with other Indonesian provinces, one might easily conclude that East Nusa Tenggara and East Timor are regions that face major development problems in the future. One could also point to poor natural resources and harsh physical conditions as the underlying causes of this regional poverty. After twenty-five years of development efforts under the New Order government. East Nusa Tenggara is still one of the poorest provinces in Indonesia. It has the lowest per capita GRDP and purchasing power which is a reflection of limited output and low productivity. Subsistence agriculture-based activities still dominate the economy. In 1993, 22.7% of the rural population and 16.4% of the urban population lived under the poverty line (BPS 1994a).

JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Masato FUJINAMI of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd.

In addition, JICA set up an advisory committee headed by Mr.Yoshiki OMURA, Senior Advisor of JICA between February 2001 and May 2002, which examined the study from specialist and technical points of view. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and relevant personnel, and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries.

All provinces experienced an increase in the number of cases compared to the previous week; 15 provinces experienced an increase of 50% or more. More cases mean more hospitalizations, further stretching health workers and health systems, and increasing the risk of death. There is an urgent need to suppress COVID-19 transmission focusing on strict implementation of public health and social measures, including movement restrictions. The existing vaccination drive also needs to be strengthened, mainly focusing on improving the coverage among older and high-risk populations who are at an increased risk of severe disease and death.
